California: Corona Centennial Huskies Girls Basketball Duo Leads to Division I State Crown

At the Golden 1 Center on March 13, 2026, the Corona Centennial Huskies topped Clovis 73-66 for the CIF Division I girls state title in a back-and-forth battle that came down to free-throw perfection. Sydney Douglas, returning from an 11-game finger injury, posted 21 points and 10 rebounds with key blocks and drives; McDonald’s All-American Cydnee Bryant added 13 points and 13 boards while dominating the paint; and Armanyie Reed exploded for a career-high 25 points. The Huskies went 18-for-19 from the charity stripe in the closing minutes to seal the win, then rushed the court in celebration as the championship banner unfurled.

Personal growth highlight:

Douglas’s emotional return after injury and the bigs’ instant chemistry powered a rebuilding squad; Bryant hugged teammates post-game, calling the state-title ring “a dream come true” after juggling hoops and volleyball, while the program celebrated its third title in five years.
